I am not saying they are, they might be. Its the simplest way of doing it, when you are downloading something from a P2P you are not aware what its doing in the background. It doesn't take much on todays machine to run an algorithm. The P2P programs also are the greatest set of computers ever, a check on Kazaa revealed 1,000,000 users. Thats a lot of computing power if you think of it.
